/ have no expectation that any man 7vi!l read hiitory aright who thinks that 
what was done in a remote age, by men whose names have resotinded far, has any

The report of the Historian of last year closed with the 
meeting held in commemoration of the memory of Doctor 
Goode, on February 13, 1897. Treating the history in the

NECROLOGY 




Necrology of the Society 



A people which takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors will 
never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendants. 



MERCER SLAUGHTER 

Commissioner, Southern Passenger Association. Born, Orange County, Va., February 25, 1844. 
Elected to the Society, December 14, 1892. Died in Richmond, Va., May 10, 1897. 

Colonel Slaughter was the grandson of Philip Slaughter of 
Culpeper County, Va., whose diary relates how at the age of 
sixteen he left school and joined the minutemen under Captain 
John Jameson who were being drilled in "Major Clayton's 
field." At that time they wore strong brown linen hunting 
shirts dyed with leaves and on which, worked in large letters 
on the breast, were the words "Liberty or Death." In their 
hats were bucktails and a leather strap about their shoulders 
held a tomahawk and scalping knife, while for arms they 
carried fowling pieces or squirrel guns. With these men he 
marched to Williamsburg to release the powder seized by 
Lord Dunmore. At the close of the expedition his diary 
laconically adds: "I was sent home to school." A year later 
he again left school and became a lieutenant in Captain Gabriel 
Long's company of Riflemen. On December 20, 1776, he was 
appointed first lieutenant in the nth Virginia Regiment, and on 
March 14, 1777, he was made regimental paymaster of the 7th 
Virginia Regiment. Subsequently he was promoted captain- 



34 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SOCIETY 

lieutenant and on May 13. 1779. received a fall Captain's com- 
mission. He served until the close oi the war and in his diary 
recounts numerous pathetic incidents of his experiences, 
especially those pertaining to his sufferings while in winter- 
quarters at X'alley Forge. 

Our compatriot was also descended from William Madison 
who abandoned his studies in 1778 while a student in Hampden 
and Sydney College to join the militia. Later he was lieuten- 
ant in Dabney's State Legion of X'irginia. In 17S1 on the 
invasion oi \'irginia he volunteered in the militia cavalry and 
from that service he was appointed a lieutenant in Colonel 
Harrison's \'irginia Regiment of .Artillery, with which he was 
present at the Siege of Yorktown. William Madison's father 
was chairman oi the Orange County. Virginia, Committee of 
Public Safety. 

Compatriot Slaughter was only fifteen years of age when the 
Civil War began in 1S61. He enlisted in the Confederate 
service and received such rapid promotion that at the close of 
the war he was in command of a regiment. Although the four 
years' struggle weakened his constitution and he was a sufferer 
from severe wounds, he went to work at once with the same 
courage and determination that had characterized him as a 
soldier. He became a baggage master on the N'irginia Midland 
R. R. and rose by successive promotions until he was made 
general passenger agent of the Richmond and Danville R. R., 
which place he held until 1SS5. Colonel Slaughter then accepted 
the place of Commissioner of the lirst passenger association 
organized in the south. Two years later when the Southern 
Passenger .Association came into existence he was named one 
of the commissioners and continued as such until 1S95. Failing 
health then compelled his resignation, and the last years of his 
life were full of suffering. A stroke of paralysis relieved him 
of further pain and w.is the immediate cause of his death. 
An account of his career published at the time of his death says : 

"It is probable that no man had such a complete library- of 
books pertaining to Confederate history; and surely all the 
south held no man who had half the information about the 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 35 

civil Wiir. He knew the story from Sumter to Appomattox. 
He knew the battles. He knew the political issues. He knew 
even the roads and ditches and regiments and commanders. 
It was marvelous to speak with him. His knowledge of 
minute details was wonderful; the scope of his judgment on 
the broad principles involved was none the less so." 

Also from the same source is the following extract: 

" He had the face of an eagle. His high-bridged, thin nose, 
his piercing black eyes, that tore all the secrets out of you as 
they gazed relentlessly from under their heavily shaded caverns ; 
his white, impassive countenance, his raven black hair and 
flowing beard — they were all the features of a man bespeaking 
iron will, truthfulness, brain power, and a never-flinching spirit. 
Such a man was Mercer Slaughter. 



OWEN RILEY 

Post OfTice Official. Born, Pultney, N. Y., July 19, 1824. Elected to the Society, July 19, 1890. 
Died, Pultney, N. Y., June 5, 1897. 

Mr. Riley was the grandson of Joseph Stewart of Middlesex 
County, Connecticut, who enlisted as a private in Captain John 
Riley's Company in Colonel Benjamin Throop's Connecticut 
Regiment in January, 1777. A year later he served for a short 
time in Captain Nehemiah Smith's Company in Colonel John 
Ely's Regiment. During the summer of 1778 he volunteered 
for six months and served under General Sullivan when that 
officer operated against the British then occupying Newport. 
At this time he was in the battle at Tuckers and Bulls Hill on 
August 29. In 1780 he joined the ist Connecticut Line and 
with that regiment marched to West Point and was present at 
the execution of Major John Andre. His final service was in 
Captain William Richard's Company in the 5th Connecticut 
Regiment. After the war he removed to Pultney and lived 
there until his death in 1844. 



36 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SOCIETY 

Compatriot Riley was educated in the district school of 
Paitnev and later studied in the Franklin Academy in Platts- 
burgh, N. V. The greater portion of his active life was spent 
in Washington, and for nearly a quarter of a century he was 
connected with the Post OtTice Department. It is said of him 
that he was so familiar with the postal system that his opinions 
were accepted as "authority in all things pertaining to it." 
With advancing years came failing health and he was obliged 
to withdraw from active duties. He then returned to Pultney 
where the remaining years of his life were spent. A notice 
published at the time of his death says : 

"He had the courage of his convictions, for they were 
always thought out with painstaking care, and were never the 
product of prejudice or the verdict of ex-parie evidence. Still 
he was not intolerant to the honest convictions of those who 
did not agree with him. He conceded to others the intellectual 
rights which he claimed for himself. His thoughtlul kindness, 
his agreeable manner, his genial presence, and his pleasant 
ways made him a favorite with the hosts oi friends who held 
him in very high esteem." 



AUGUSTINE FRANCIS HEWIT 

Qergyman, Superior of the Congregation of St. Paul, New York City. Bom. Fairfield, Conn., 

November s;, iSjo Elected to the Society April 7, 1S91. Died 

in New York City, July 3, 1S97. 

Compatriot Hewit was a member of our Society in virtue of 
his descent from James Hillhouse who served with a battery in 
defense of New Haven when that place was attacked by the 
British troops under General Tryon in 1779. He also served 
as an adjutant to the Governor of Connecticut in the raising of 
troops. The records also show him to have been a captain in 
the Governor's Foot Guard in 1779. He was a member of the 
legislature from 17S0 to 17S3. and was a United States Senator 
from 1796 till I Sic. His father William Hillhouse represented 
New London in the legislature from 1755 till 17S5, and was 
made an assistant or member of the council. For forty years 
he was a Judge oi the Common Pleas. 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Father Hewit was the son of Nathaniel Hewit, a Presbyterian 
clergyman, who was so earnest a worker in the cause of 
temperance that he gained the title of " The Luther of the Early 
Temperance Reform. " His mother was the daughter of Senator 
James Hillhouse of Connecticut. The son was educated in 
Phillips Academy and Amherst College, graduating from the 
latter institution in the class of 1839, which also included 
among its members the Rev, Richard S. Storrs, the famous 
divine of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Frederick D. Huntington, 
Bishop of Central New York. Hewit studied law but abandoned 
it at the end of a year and began the study of theology. In 
1842 he was licensed to preach as a Congregationalist but the 
teachings of that church were not in accordance with his 
beliefs and in the following year he was ordained a deacon in 
the Protestant Episcopal Church. In 1843 the famous Tracterian 
Movement began in Oxford and the resulting agitation that 
had so important an influence on the brilliant young men 
then in the English universities was not without its effect on 
this side of the Atlantic. Mr. Hewit was among the number 
and in 1846 was received into the Roman Catholic Church. 
A year later he was ordained by Bishop Reynolds and was 
appointed vice-principal of the Charleston Collegiate Institute. 
He joined the Redemptionist Order in 1850 and in 1851 he 
started on a missionary tour with Father Bernard Hafkenscheid, 
who had just arrived from Holland with Father C. A. Walworth 
and Father Isaac T. Hecker, both of whom were Americans 
and converts to the Roman Catholic Church. Later Father 
Baker and Father Deshon, also American converts, joined the 
missionaries, and for seven years these men labored together. 
At the end of 1857 the four American priests decided to start a 
new order on a different basis, and Father Hecker was sent to 
Rome to interview Pope Pius IX. The result was that a 
decree was issued in March, 1858, creating the Institute of 
Missionary Priests of St. Paul the Apostle, with Father Hecker 
as the first Superior of the order. Father Hewit became one 
of its chief members and then took the religious name of 
Augustine Francis. In 1865 he gave up missionary work and 



38 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SOCIETY 

devoted his entire time to study and writing, becoming one of 
the leading authorities on church history, theology, and 
philosophy in this country. On the death of Father Hecker in 
1888, he was chosen Superior of the Order. The golden jubilee 
of his ordination as a Roman Catholic priest was celebrated in 
March, 1897, with great splendor of ceremony in the Paulist 
Church in New York City, in 1877 Amherst College gave 
him the degree of D.D., and later the Pope conferred a similar 
honor upon him. His published works include : " Reasons for 
submitting to the Catholic Church" (Charleston, 1846); "Life 
of Princess Borghese" (New York, 1856); "Life of Dumoulin 
Borie," an Annamite missionary (1857) ; "The Little Angel 
of the Copts;" "Life of Rev. Francis A. Baker" (1865); 
"Problems of the Age, with studies in St. Augustine on 
Kindred Subjects" (1868); " Light in Darkness, a Treatise on 
the Obscure Night of the Soul" (1870); and "The King's 
Highway, or the Catholic Church the Way of Salvation as, 
revealed in the Holy Scriptures" (1874). He was a frequent 
contributor to religious periodicals and edited the "Complete 
Works of Bishop England" (Baltimore, 1850). Father Hewit 
was six feet tall and of commanding figure. His features were 
clean cut and fine, and his hair was as white as snow. He 
was a man of brilliant mental attainments and as a scholar and 
controversial writer none stood higher in the Roman Catholic 
Church. 



HENRY WISE GARNETT 

Lawyer. Born, Washington, D. C, March 31, 1849. Elected to the Society, July 5, 1S90, Died, 
Clifton Springs, N. Y,, July 10, 1897. 

Mr. Garnett was a great-grandson of Muscoe Garnett of 
Essex County, Va., who served as a member of the EssfX 
County Committee of Safety during the War of the Revolution. 
His mother was a daughter of Governor Henry A, Wise of 
Virginia, and this relationship made him also a great-grandson 
of General John Cropper of Bowman's Folly, Accomac County, 
Va, General Cropper was exceedingly active in the War of 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 39 

the Revolution. He was made captain in the 9th Regiment of 
Virginia Regulars in 1776, and a year later he was promoted 
to major in the 7th Virginia Regiment, being present in that 
capacity in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown, On 
October 27, 1777, he was made lieutenant-colonel and was at 
the battle of Monmouth. He resigned in 1779 but soon entered 
the service again and was in command of the nth Virginia 
Regiment during the trials of the winter season at Valley 
Forge. Later he became colonel of the militia of Accomac 
County and was wounded at the battle of the Barges on 
November 28, 1782. General Cropper was an original mem- 
ber of the Society of the Cincinnati and president of the Virginia 
Society. His father, Sebastian Cropper, was a captain in the 
Virginia Militia in 1775 and died in 1776. 

Our compatriot was a son of Doctor Alexander Yelverton 
Peyton Garnett, a well known physician of Washington, and 
was educated as a lawyer, studying under Richard T. Merrick. 
He was admitted to practice early in the seventies and continued 
active in his chosen profession until his death. At a meeting 
of the members of the District bar held shortly after his death 
to do honor to his memory the following sentiments were 
expressed: 

"In our opinion the pre-eminent example of Henry Wise 
Garnett's life was its large, brave and honorable activity. 
Coming to the bar at an early age, he soon gave evidence that 
he understood the full measure of responsibility which profes- 
sional life demands. ***** 
He never failed in the discharge of those duties. Professionally, 
he was always equal to any demand that was made upon him. 
In ability, among the first; in courage, never failing; in restless 
activity, unceasing; he was the embodiment of those qualities 
which are at once the requirement and the honorable charac- 
teristic of the advocate." 

Mr. Garnett was a member of the Board of Management of 
our Society in 1891 and again in 1893. 'i^ the councils of our 
Society the value of his judgment was recognized and his 
opinion was frequently sought on matters of importance.

CYRUS CULBERTSON MACLAY 

Merchant. Born, Westmoreland County, Pa., September 7, 1842. Elected to the Society, 
July 27, 1895. Died, Tipton, Mo., August 8, 1897. 

Compatriot Maclay was the great-grandson of John Maclay 
of Cumberland County, Pa., who was a delegate to the Pro- 
vincial Congress that met in Carpenter's Hall in Philadelphia 
during June of 1776, and he was one of those who at that 
time voted in favor of independence. His brother William 
Maclay was also a member of that Congress and subsequently 
became one of the first Senators from Pennsylvania. Contem- 
porary accounts credit William Maclay with having been active 
in the formation of the Democratic party prior to the return of 
Thomas Jefferson from France. 

Mr. Maclay was born in Jones Mills, Pennsylvania, and was 
one of nine children. At the age of twelve he accompanied 
his parents to St. Louis, Mo. His first employment was that 
of water-boy on the Missouri Pacific Railway which in those 
days only went as far as Kirkv/ood. He then became a news- 
boy and was the first person to sell newspapers on a train 
west of the Mississippi River. At that time papers were 
folded by hand and each boy was required to fold his own 
supply. Mr. Maclay was gradually promoted in the service of 
the company and was the first express messenger and baggage 
master to run into Sedalia. In 1S63 he moved to Tipton, Mo., 
"then an insignificant railway station, and became associated in 
business with his maternal uncle Mr. John H. Gleim. A year 
later with his brother James he bought out the interest of his 
uncle and the firm became J. B. and C. C. Maclay. In 1872 
on the death of the senior member the style became Maclay & 
Co. with Mr. C. C. Maclay as the principal member, and in 
1893 he became the entire owner of the business. Mr. Maclay 
was active in other matters, and in 1880 was made vice-presi- 
dent of the Bank of Tipton, of which institution he became 
president in 1891. He was a member of the Central Missouri 
District Fair Association and of the Tipton Board of Trade.

CHARLES ABERT 

Lawyer, Born, Mount Holly, N. J., September 19, 1822. Elected to the Society, June 16, 1890. 
Died near Rockville, iVld., August 10, 1897. 

Mr. Abert was the great-grandson of Timothy Matlack of 
Pennsylvania. This famous " fighting Quaker" was a mem- 
ber of the Committee of Safety, and a Colonel in the Militia. 
In 1776 he was a Deputy to the Pennsylvania Conference, and 
from 1780 to 1787 he was a delegate to the Continental Con- 
gress; also serving as Secretary of Council of State and Master 
of Rolls in 1781. 

Compatriot Abert was the son of Colonel John James Abert, 
a distinguished Engineer Officer, who settled in Washington 
with his family in 1829. His early education was received in 
Washington, after which he entered Princeton University where 
he was graduated with the class of 1842. He then began the 
study of law with Mr. Richard S. Coxe, but he had scarcely 
entered on the practice of his profession when he was invited to 
become the private secretary of the Honorable Robert J. Walker, 
Secretary of the Treasury. This place he held for four years, 
after which he resumed his profession in association with Mr. 
John O. Sargeant. Mr. Abert was successful in winning the 
esteem of his fellow citizens, and for a number of years he 
served the District of Columbia as President of its Com.mon 
Council. His failing health led him in 1861 to move to Mont-' 
gomery County, Md., and at Norbeck he made a home for 
himself in which he continued to live until his death. In 1873 
he resumed the practice of his profession and continued 
actively in it until the close of his life. He was a School Com- 
missioner of Montgomery County, a director of the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Canal, and a director in the Mutual Fire Insurance

the councils of the Episcopal Church for many years, of which 
denomination he was a prominent member, serving as a lay 
reader for many years, and as a delegate to various church 
conventions. He enjoyed serving the Church more than the 
State, and declined political preferment on more than one

Mr. Sherman was a great-grandson of James Sherman of 
Brimfield, .Mass., who participated in the battle of Lexington 
as captain of a company in Colonel Pynchon's regiment. 
Subsequently he was commissioned captain in Colonel Eben- 
ezer Learned's regiment. His son, James Sherman, Jr., sened 
as a private under his father at Lexington and in 1779 was 
made a corporal in Captain Joshua Shaw's company in Colonel 
Elisha Porter's regiment of Massachusetts troops. 

Our compatriot was a son of Dr. Isaac DeBlois Sherman, who 
practiced medicine in Syracuse, N. Y., and also edited in that 
place the Argus. His mother was a daughter of Judge .Altred 
Conkling oi Utica. N. Y. In 1S55 the f.imily settled in Ran- 
dolph. Tenn., and there the son was born. He received a 
common school education, and as a young man served with a 
party that surveyed the line of the Burlington and Missouri River 
R. R. In 1S57 he began the study of law in Arkansas (whither 
his parents had removed) and in 1S60 was admitted to the bar. 
Although opposed to slavery, he served in the Confederate 
army until he became convinced of the hopelessness of the 
cause and then he settled in Erie, Pa. In 1S67 he removed to 
Pithole city and in 1S70 settled permanently in Titusville. Pa. 
In the meantime he had been admitted to the Pennsylvania bar 
and thereafter until his death followed his chosen profession in 
the last named city, acquiring the reputation of being the " best 
equity lawyer" in northwestern Pennsylvania. He was the 
founder in 1SS5 of the A/mrt'can Citi^in, a journal which he 
edited for four years.

Mr. Sherman was a manly man, a true man. He was faith- 
ful to his engagements whether of a business, social or personal 
nature. As a citizen he will be greatly missed. He was 
always ready to discharge his share of obligation to the com- 
munity and co-operate in all needful measures for their common 
interests. 



JOHN LORIMER WORDEN 

Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy, Retired. Born, Sing Sing, N. Y., March 12, 1818. Elected to the 
Society, June 16, 1890. Died, Washington, D. C, October 18, 1897. 

Admiral Worden was a grandson of Doctor Isaac Gilbert 
Graham of Westchester County, N. Y., who entered the service 
as surgeon's mate in the 7th Regiment of the Massachusetts 
Continental Line and later was made an assistant surgeon in 
the Continental Army. He was with Washington at West 
Point and when he retired from the army at the close of the 
war, he received from his superior officers the highest proofs 
of their respect and esteem. His descendants still cherish a 
silver-headed cane presented to him by Washington himself as 
a token of his appreciation of the services rendered by Doctor 
Graham. His father. Doctor Andrew Graham of Woodbury, 
Conn., was a member of the Connecticut Committee of Safety 
and on the beginning of hostilities became regimental surgeon 
of the Connecticut troops. He was captured at the battle of 
White Plains and was imprisoned in the Dutch Church on 
Nassau Street in New York City until the surrender of Corn- 
wallis. 

Compatriot Worden entered the U. S. Navy as a midshipman 
on January 10, 1834, being then only fifteen years of age. Six 
years later he attended the Naval School, then in Philadelphia, 
and on July 16, 1840, was advanced to the grade of passed 
midshipman. He was promoted lieutenant on November 30, 
1846, and thereafter until the beginning of the Civil War served 
on various ships and at the U. S. Naval Observatory. In con- 
sequence of his long experience in the Navy and his knowledge 



44 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SOCIETY 

of the necessities that would be confronted in time of war, he 
was ordered to Washington on April 6, iS6i, and assigned to 
special duty connected with the discipline and etficiency of the 
naval service. Office work was not congenial to him, and he 
promptly asked for duty atloat. His request was granted and 
he was sent the following day (April 7) at daybreak to Pensa- 
cola with dispatches for the commanding officer off that port, 
ordering him to reinforce Fort Pickens, A heavy gale was 
blowing on his arrival and he was prevented from communi- 
cating with the squadron, although he spent the entire day in 
a small boat and narrowly escaped losing his life several times. 
On the next day (April 12) he succeeded in delivering his mes- 
sages, and in consequence Fort Pickens was saved for the Union. 
Lieutenant VVorden started for Washington by an overland 
route, but was arrested near Montgomery, Ala., and held as a 
prisoner of war until November 14. iS6r He was then ex- 
changed and ordered on November 20. 1S61, to the naval ten- 
dizvcus in New York Citv, where he was assigned to the super- 
intendence of the completion of John Ericsson's Monitor. 
When the new iron clad was finished Lieutenant Worden was 
given command of her and he was ordered to Hampton Roads, 
where the Confederate ram Mcrrimac had sunk the Congress 
and CiimberLxnd. On March 9, 1S62, occurred the famous 
naval duel between the two iron clads, resulting in the with- 
drawal of the Mcrrimac. The avowed purpose of the Con- 
federate ram to destroy the National lleet and to capture 
Washington, New York, and other cities was checked, and 
honors without stint were bestowed on the successful com- 
mander. Congress gave him special votes of thanks, and he 
was advanced to the rank of commander on July 12, 1S62. 
He was again promoted and received his commission as Cap- 
tain ox\ February 3. 1S63. During the first half of the year 
1S63 he commanded the monitor Montauk in the South 
Atlantic Squadron, and at that time captured the Confederate 
Privateer Nashville, he also participated in the attack on the 
forts in Charleston harbor on April 7. 1S63. From 1S63 till 
iS66 he was in New York engaged in superintending the con- 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 



45 



struction of iron dads. After the war he commanded the 
Pensacola in the Pacific Squadron, and was superintendent 
of the U. S. Naval Academy. He received his commission as 
rear-admiral on November 20, 1872, and was commander-in- 
chief of the European Squadron from February 3, 1875, till 
December 23, 1877. Thereafter until his retirement on Decem- 
ber 23, 1886, he held shore appointments, chiefly in Washing- 
ton, where his home was. Subsequently he lived quietly in 
the Capital City until he was stricken with pneumonia, result- 
ing from a cold, which caused his death. 

Admiral Worden was the second on our list of members, 
his name following that of Admiral Porter, and he was a vice- 
president in 1891 and again in 1892. The records of the Society 
further show that he was made an honorary member on April 
20, 1891. 



GEORGE DOOLITTLE 

Clerk, Auditor's Office, Treasury Department. Born, Utica, N. Y., December 26, 1830. Elected 
to the Society, February 16, 1891. Died, Washington, D. C, October 24, 1897. 

Compatriot Doolittle was a grandson of George Doolittle of 
Middletown, Conn., who in 1776, at the age of seventeen, en- 
listed as a private in Captain Joseph Churchill's Company in 
the Third Battalion of Wadsworth's Brigade. A year later he 
enlisted in Lieutenant David Smith's Company in Wolcott's 
Brigade. Subsequently he served in the Sixth Connecticut 
Regiment, becoming Corporal on October i, 1780. His record 
further shows him to have been sergeant in the Fourth Con- 
necticut in 1781, and fin3"y he w'^; dven •> similar rW; ;n ilie 
Sixth Connecticut Regiment on July i, 1781. He received a 
pension. Mr. Doolittle's maternal grandfather was Jabez Clark 
of Lebanon, Conn., who served through the war, first as ensign 
and then as captain, in James Dana's company in Colonel John 
Ely's Regiment of Connecticut troops, and was pensioned. 

Mr. Doolittle received his early education in Utica and then 
entered Hamilton College. After graduating at this institution 
he studied law and was admitted to the bar in Oneida County. 



46 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SOCIETY 

For some years he followed his chosen profession in Iowa, but 
the Civil War so interrupted his practice that he accepted an 
appointment in the Treasury Department in Washington, where 
for many years he was entrusted with the settlement of the 
claims made by steamboats against the Government. He 
continued with the Treasury Department, and at the time of 
his death was Chief of Division in the office of the Auditor for 
the War Department. Our compatriot was a Unitarian in 
religion and devoted to the church of that faith in Washington. 
A member of the family writes: "His life was blameless, 
spent in devotion to duty and in the most unselfish and loving 
fulfillment of all the obligations it brought him. Few have 
been so tenderly loved and so sincerely mourned." 



WILLIAM HARRISON LOWDERMILK 

Publisher and Bookseller. Born, Cumberland, Md., January 7. 1S39. Elected to the Society, 
July 27, 1895. Died, Washington, D. C, December 29, 1897. 

Mr. Lowdermilk was a great-grandson of Michael Hershner, 
of Fort Cumberland, Maryland, who served as a private in 
Captain Philip Grayble's^ompany, in Colonel Honsaker's Mary- 
land Regiment, during the Revolution, and was discharged 
from service in 1799. 

Our compatriot was himself a native of Cumberland, but at 
the age of eleven he moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where he 
was educated, and where later he learned the trade of printing. 
He enlisted in a Kentucky regiment at the beginning of the 
Civil Wnr.. and was soon oromot^^d to staff duty, serving 
under General William B. Hazen. He took part in the battle 
of Shiloh ; and at the battle of Stone River he was captured 
by the Confederates and confined for eight months in Libby 
Prison, at the expiration of which time, being exchanged, he 
rejoined his command. Thereafter until the close of the war 
he continued in active service, participating in the battle of 
Chickamauga and other important engagements. At the close 
of the war he returned to his home in Cumberland, and was 



SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 47 

made postmaster of that place by President Grant, holding the 
office for eight years. During these years he conducted The 
Civilian, a weekly newspaper published in the interest of the 
Republican party, and also The Transcript, the first daily 
newspaper in Western Maryland, which he published in Cum- 
berland. He also wrote "The History of Cumberland" 
(Washington, 1878) which is highly regarded, not only because 
of the local history which it gives, but also as being a com- 
plete narrative of Washington's first campaign and the Brad- 
dock expedition. In 1878 Mr. Lowdermilk came to Washington 
and entered the book business in association with James 
Anglim, but later in copartnership with John T. Loomis he 
organized the firm of W. H. Lowdermilk & Company, which 
firm soon became the possessors of one of the largest book- 
stores in this country. Mr. Lowdermilk was also a member of 
the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in the District of 
Columbia and served as its Registrar in 1893-5. 



ALBERT CARHART 

Merchant. Born, Bound Brook, N. J., September lo, 1841. Elected to the Society, April 7, 1891. 
Died, Washington, D. C, December 30, 1897, 

Mr. Carhart was a great-grandson of Cornelius Carhart of 
New Jersey, who served in the war of the Revolution as cap- 
tain in the 2d Regiment of the Hunterdon Militia and later as 
major in the 3d Regiment of that Militia. 

Our compatriot left his birthplace in 1849, and moved with 
his parents to Zion, Cecil County, Md. He was educated in 
Media, Pa., where he studied under a private tutor. Later he 
settled in Oxford, Chester County, Pa., where for twenty years 
he was a member of the firm of Carhart Brothers, dry goods 
merchants. During these years he was an officer in the State 
Militia and a member of the Town Council. In 1887 he re- 
moved to Washington, and became a member of the firm of 
Carhart & Leidy. He was regarded as one of Washington's 
most progressive and respected merchants. 



APPENDIX 



WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS AT ROCKY HILL, 
NEW JERSEY.* 

JUST a little over a year ago the repairing was begun on the 
Berrian house, Rocky Hill, the home from 1734 of Judge 
John Berrian, who was appointed third Judge of the State 
of New Jersey, and died in 1761, his widow remaining there 
for several years longer, entertaining many notable persons. 
History tells us this home was the headquarters of Gen. 
George Washington in 1783. 

The building is situated on an elevation of 200 feet. The 
house as shown in the picture has the balcony (which was torn 
away forty years ago, but was restored to its original design) 
facing south. The chimney in the center of the building is 
another feature of 150 years ago. The flagstaff, with gilt ball 
and storm flag, may be seen for many miles across the country. 
From the west end of the balcony a beautiful expanse of fertile 
country, twenty miles in extent, is viewed. Eight miles away 
is the historic Hopewell Valley, where the council of war was 
held that memorable June night before the battle of Monmouth, 
and Hopewell, the home of John Hart, one of the signers of 
the Declaration of Independence. Somerville, twelve miles 
distant at the foot of the Watchung Mountains, is the county 
seat. 

it having in command such an expanse of country. Gen. 
Washington retired to the Berrian house on several occasions, 
either before or after a battle. After the battle of Princeton, 
Gen. Washington turned off the New Brunswick road and 
found his rest at the Berrian house before his long march to 
Morristown, which is twenty miles north of Somerville, on his 
way from Lambertville to Monmouth, during which battle 
Judge Berrian's son was Washington's aid.

We need not wonder why Gen. Washington chose the 
Berrian house as his headquarters in the autumn of 17S3, as at 
that time Princeton, only four miles away, was the seat of 
Congress, and the homes of Richard Stockton, Clark, and 
Witherspoon, signers of the Declaration, being occupied, the 
next suitable place was the Judge's old home at Rocky Hill. 
To this house Mrs. Washington came, entertaining all the 
notable persons visiting this country. The Washingtons occu- 
pied the place from August 24 until November 9, 17S3. Por- 
traits of Gen. and Mrs. Washington were painted by Joseph 
Wright while they were at Rocky Hill. Gen. Washington's 
portrait was sent to France. 

Fearing that this noted building might go to decay, in the 
autumn of 1S96 an association was formed of 130 members to 
restore the Berrian house, which was purchased and given 
to the association. In one year the building was repaired, 
painted white with green shutters, and an escutcheon placed 
on the north side of the house bearing the name " Washing- 
ton's Headquarters." 

The parlor, or Princeton room, furnished by the Princeton 
Chapter, Daughters of the .American Revolution, of which there 
are two views, shows the homespun carpet, spinning-wheel, 
rush chair, spinnet, sampler of the Seventeen Hundreds, the 
cabinet containing many old pewter pieces, also china of over 
100 vears ago, the goblet being one of Thomas JelTerson's, with 
Monticello engraved on one side. The furniture is of the black 
horsehair variety. 

Opening into this room is the old-fashioned bedroom, with 
canopy bed and other antique pieces of furniture. Adjoining 
this room on the north side oi the house is the Trenton room, 
furnished by ladies of the chapter in Trenton. Across a hall is 
the registration room, on the walls of which hang many inter- 
esting papers and maps. The dining room has been furnished 
bv ladies of Trenton. The turned stairway lands one at the 
entrance of the Washington room, in which Washington wrote 
his Farewell .Address. The custody of this historic room and 
its furnishings have been assigned to the Societies of the Sons

of the Aineiican Revolulion aiul Sons of the Revolution of 
Washington, I). C. From this room one enters Washington's 
bedroom, in which is a fine old high post mahogany bedstead, 
brought from the headquarters of Cornwallis, in Brooklyn, and 
in which Gen. Washington slept. Chairs and dainty pieces 
of furniture make the room homelike. From this one m;ry 
pass into the curio room, where hang pictures of Washington, 
Lafayette, and other Generals, a sword of Cornwallis's, pieces 
of Mrs. Washington's dresses, an old-fashioned wine chest, 
and many more relics of interest. 

A long hall through the house divides this room from the 
artist's room, and to the southwest is the Josephine room, with 
old cherry bedstead, with dainty hangings ninety years old 
used in the same room at the time when Judge Crozier occu- 
pied the house; a mirror 125 years old; warming pan, and a 
number of pictures; a copy of The New London Courant, pub- 
lished December 5, 1783, in which is the Farewell Address of 
Gen. Washington. 

The flag which floats every day, a gift from the school chil- 
dren of the neighboring villages, waves a welcome to all 
visitors.

Your Committee beg to report that in the year that has 
elapsed since they were appointed to the care of the room so 
courteously placed at the disposal of the two societies by the 
Rocky Hill Washington Headquarters Association, they have 
succeeded in securing a number of valuable and interesting

contributions tor the furnishing- of the historic room. \n order 
to create an interest in this work a circular was issued on 
January 6. iSoS. copies of which were sent to every member 
of both of the Societies, and it is with regret that we have to 
announce that the responses have been very few. Most of the 
;frticles secured have been gitts obtained through the individual 
influence of your Committee. At a meeting of our Society 
held on December ^.:, an appropriation of $50 was granted, 
most of which has been expended in the framing of the valu- 
able historic portraits that have been obtained. 

Through the courtesy of Mrs. Rosa Wright Smith the refus;il 
was secured of a table* once owned bv George .Mason, of Gun- 
ston Hall, which relic thoroughly authenticated we are desirous 
of securing, and for that purpose we w ould respectfully request 
of the Society an additional appropriation. 

In conclusion, your Committee can only repeat the appeal 
that they have already made on several occasions to you, 
namely, that they desire donations of material suitable for use 
in furnishing the room in the Rockv Hill Washington Head- 
quarters, in which Washington w rote his farewell address to 
the .American .Army. 

Appended to this report is a copy of the circular issued on 
January 6, and a list of the articles received to date, together

been made by your Committee.

In order that the room so kindly placed at the disposal of the 
patriotic societies of this District may be suital)ly furnished, a 
committee has been appointed by the Society of the Sons of the 
American Revolution to take active measures toward securing 
the necessary articles. 

To accomplish this purpose you are earnestly solicited to 
loan or give any thing curious of Colonial, Historic, or Military 
interest, that you can spare from your own keeping — especially 
such as would be suitable to furnish, or to preserve in an office 
library of so much interest to every American citizen. Articles 
that can be used to adorn the walls or cases, such as pictures, 
maps, books, manuscripts or prints, swords, muskets or other 
ordnance, and the like, would be acceptable, as well as interest- 
ing to ail posterity. 

All contributions or notifications of same should be sent to 
General O. B. Willcox, 2022 R Street, Washington, D. C, who 
will promptly acknowledge and forward them, and when 
placed at the Headquarters each one will be properly credited
